This is the show I’m in. I don’t even consider myself an artist, but this really cool curator dude who liked my stuff asked me to be in it. So i was like, ‘sure’. At first I didn’t want to tell anyone I was in a show but realized that this isn’t about me but it’s about what the show can do for the charities and for the community. blah blah

I think I’ll only have one piece tho. It’s not a desirable subject. It doesn’t make you feel happy and it’s def not something you’d want to hang on your walls. But you’ll see.

May 1st.
6pm-12am @ Echo Curio.
1519 Sunset Blvd.

Everyone’s invited to come. It’s a cheap date idear, something to do. Good music, art and a few opportunities to support some good charities. I’ll be around… but not the whole time. Got stuff to do, people to see, u know. jk.

random:

• the things i do ….and the places i go to hear some good music.
• apartment hunting is proving to be harder than it should be.
• i have my first art show this week!
• but no one knows about it.
• and that’s perfectly fine with me
• broohaha try to find me
• i realize that im so far away from my goals
• i should really just give up and go do what people tell me to do
• right?
• wrong.
• maybe
• i dont know.
• good night

why were we at a party…….in long beach, no less?

oh yeah…him…

and a little bit of deeeeeeees

doosh doosh good niiiiiiiiiiight

…and Stones Throw and Intelligentsia know it. Their new collaboration is Stones Throw’s Ethiopium blend. Taking orders now till October 31th. Here’s the profile on the cool beans:

Varietal: indigenous, typical sub-type
Region: Yirgacheffe, Sidama
Altitude: 1700 – 1900m
Harvest: December – January

The Flavor Shouts Out: Tilahoun Gessesse
The Acidity Reminds Us Of: Alemehyu Eshete
And The Finish Is All About: Mulatu Astatke

Yeah, I have no idea what all of that means. I’m no coffee guru (there’s just too much to learn, i just like to drink it), but all I know is that I love Intelligentsia. It’s LA’s equivalent to Gimme! coffee in NYC and Blue Bottle up in Norcal. Nothing else compares! The weather in LA’s been a bit chilly these days, it’ll be great to start off one of these mornings drinking a fresh brew of Ethiopium, with a Madlib beat or Mayer Hawthorne’s soothing voice playing in the background. Oh, i guess theyre selling an Ethiopium mix too, by Oh No. Coolest collab ever!

IAmKoreAm.com‘s first LIVE webshow was a hit! Lots of people tuned in, asked questions, requested songs, and won the giveaways. Big ups to Big Phony for filling our office with beautiful music.

Comedian Danny Cho made an appearance. I saw him do the ‘ktown hotties’ impression in person! hehe, funny dude.

Janice giving me that sexy look she does so well.

They’re both awake in this picture, I promise.

resting at home and watching gustavo online. very niiiiice.

It’s that time of year again. Peanut Butter Wolf spinning 9 straight nights from Sept 1st up to Sept 9, 2009. 9 nights in 9 different area codes, playing all 90′s music.

These parties he’s throwing, it’s true dedication man. Working nine straight days of sets that are hours and hours long is not an easy task for sure. You can tell he just wants to deliver good music to people. At PBWolf parties, it doesn’t matter where you’re from, what you’re wearing, or who you with, as long as you’re down with the music. I love that. Even after his set, he took the time to take pictures with and talk to all his fans who wanted to talk to him. Never did he once show any signs of impatience for them.

Went to two events already, it’s been pretty sick. Took the above pic last night, towards the end of his set. Think I wanna take my dslr on Sunday, to take some better shots of the show.

Love this pic of some man dancing in front of the screen that projects the videos.

hehe, i like this one too.
